In what is certainly just a coincidence, the Green Bay Packers signed an All-American kickoff returner just a day after All-Pro Keisean Nixon said he no longer wants to return kickoffs.

Packers CB Keisean Nixon doesn’t want to return kicks next season after experiencing the new rules for the first time this year. “I don’t really want to do it no more,” Nixon told Matt Scheneidman.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon also excels as the team's return specialist, but he's no longer interested in performing double duties

Nixon, a two-time All-Pro returner, saw fewer opportunities with the new kickoff rules and would like to exclusively play cornerback.

Keisean Nixon wants to be done returning kicks, and not just because the two-time All-Pro return man fumbled the opening kickoff in the Green Bay Packers' playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The Packers got off to a nightmare start when Keisean Nixon fumbled the opening kickoff after taking a huge hit by Philadelphia's Oren Burks. Three plays later the Eagles scored a touchdown and seized control early at home. Nixon spoke Monday about the costly fumble and had a rather honest admission about that big hit by Burks.

The Green Bay Packers could not have had a worse start to their much-ballyhooed playoff game against Jalen Hurts and a heavily favored Philadelphia Eagles team.
